The best restaurants in South West

Another great coffee at Starbucks Village Hotel in Swindon. Served by Jackie who is always friendly and helpful

First time I had Indian food from this place The starter were dry very dry chicken Samosa dry Sauce of the curry too liquid with 4 pieces of meat 50 pounds wasted If I was eat in and not take away I was going to ask money back.

We were drawn to Basilico by its high 4.6-star rating, but perhaps we should have considered whether any Italians had reviewed it. Intrigued by the Neapolitan dialect pizza names, we ordered three pizzas, mistakenly assuming they were made by Italians. However, the menu included questionable combinations like chicken and pineapple, raising doubts. Unfortunately, limited dining options in Warmwell led us to proceed with the order. Upon delivery, we were sorely disappointed. The pizzas were overly salty, cardboard-like, and utterly flavorless. It's baffling how one can attempt to replicate authentic Italian pizza without a deep understanding of Italian culinary traditions. Italians have a rich food heritage that can only be truly appreciated and replicated through generations of experience and passion. The side salad was equally disappointing, laden with excessive herbs and spices. And at £16 per pizza, the pricing is exorbitant. We strongly advise against ordering from Basilico. It's a disservice to Italian cuisine. It’s a robbery. Never ever again

Vegetable Bhuna tasted like a tin of chopped tomatoes with mostly frozen vegetables. Very watery and very cheap unnatural tomato flavour, not like anything I've had from any other takeaway. The naan and rice were both lovely.

Absolutely lovely food, super quick service and a very nice vibe. We definitely recommend the salt and pepper squid, and the chow mein was amazing!!!

Enjoyable family meal. Kid friendly.

took 1 hour on a Tuesday evening. the bhajis were poor crispy examples and the lamb was chewy.

We continue to visit this restaurant regularly when we are in this part of the world. It is quite simply outstanding. Whilst all the newspaper articles about the area will talk about the Mariners in Rock, the Seafood Restaurant in Padstow and Nathan Outlaws 2 gems in Port Isaac (all of which are excellent), this place is my favourite - the food here is simply outstanding and tremendous value for money. Having had the privilege of eating in excellent restaurants all over the world, the locals don’t know how lucky they are! Why so special? Firstly the service is excellent, with a limited number of covers, the team are both friendly and efficient. The wine list has been thoughtfully constructed with some excellent choices. The food though tops it all. The menu is regularly updated, with what is in season and there is always a choice of 4 dishes for each course. I invariably choose the fresh fish on the menu but with venison in season last night, I couldn’t resist and it was an absolute delight!

Great deala on crabs and seafood!

Had 3 different waitresses serve us, 2 were clearly very experienced and one I would say was fairly new. However all were excellent in their rolls and noticeably all were very genuine and nice people. Was a really good evening, can’t fault it.

I don’t think you can get better than this!

We called in for a drink, not food. Pleasant atmosphere. I loved my latte, which was really well made.

We always eat at the Sharksfin when we are in Mevagissey; today there was only one waitress, as someone had phoned in sick, but what a star she was! A coach had obviously come into town and suddenly the restaurant was quite full, but she carried on and everyone got their drinks. We ordered the fish and chips, and as usual, it was superb, beautifully white tasty haddock and we like the fact that the batter is quite thin and not fatty. We would also like to thank them for holding onto hubby’s glasses as he left them there last week. Many thanks for a great meal, coffee and super service.

The staff were friendly, the service was prompt, the food was good. It's about as good as you could hope for from a family friendly restaurant at the price that it is.

O.m.g. (food incredible and portion sizes very good)
